584. Sometimes They Just Need a Breath

Brian Gubernick
About this episode

Brian Gubernick shares a powerful message that might just change the way you lead. Inspired by a recent conversation with his friend and fellow entrepreneur, Brian explores the idea that when someone is drowning, whether in business or in life, they don’t need your advice or a plan to follow. They just need a breath.

Brian reminds us that great leaders recognize the difference between strategy and simple human empathy. When someone is overwhelmed, scared, or doubting themselves, the most impactful thing we can do is help them come up for air. It’s a gentle but powerful call to check on the people around you and offer them presence, patience, and a reminder that they’re not alone.

This 7-minute episode that will shift your leadership lens and help you become the kind of person who knows when to offer direction and when to simply help someone breathe.
